Browning M1918 BAR {.30-06}
Well before the term “SAW” originated, the Browning Automatic Rifle was filling that role in the trenches of World War I. In the 1920s and ’30s, BARs were prized by gangsters who didn’t want to settle for a Thompson gun, and a favorite of the police who opposed these gangsters. The BAR remained in American military service through the 1950s. The BAR feeds from a detachable magazine, which limits its utility in the SAW role. At a time when most infantry weapons had five-round internal magazines, though, the SAW was state of the art. Its .30-06 ammo has Armor Piercing 2.
